Wow. It’s been like 6 weeks since my last post. I knew the blog had gotten away from me a bit, but… Damn, sorry guys.

I suppose you have been wondering what I’ve been up to since my last post. Well, SIB officially started raiding on November 8th, and thus far we’ve been doing pretty damn well. Our first week, we killed the first two bosses, and then we floundered on Gara’jal for a week (and then Thanksgiving), and the following week we downed both Gara’jal and Spirit Kings. We’ve been sitting on Elegon for a bit, but this week, we didn’t have a healer with a DPS spec sign up, so we decided to go to Heart of Fear and put some tries in on Zor’lok. For all of 4 attempts, I think it’s safe to say we’ve got Zor’lok’s number pretty well, we just need to tighten up a couple things (attenuation and mind controls are the biggies at this point).

Raiding continues to plug along in genuine SiB fashion, in never failing to surprise me sometimes. However, I do wish to give my first Bag Of Angry Dicks Award to Elegon. (You may remember other such recipients of this award as Al’Akir, and… Well, I think he was the only other one actually)

Elegon: in a raid of encounters that were moderately challenging, without punching people in the face, you managed to be the Angry Teabagging FPS-player of Mogu’shan Vaults. And for that, I hate you. Fucker.

*ahem*

This weekend I also managed to snag a Brawler’s Guild invite. I have to say folks, as someone who’s been really big into soloing older content, this is fucking awesome. However, the fact that it’s Cross-Realm does tend to make it a bit buggy at times. (I was DC’ed a few times because of stupid shit like, being dropped into the ring when my turn came up. I mean, how dare I do that? Pfft). I didn’t manage to progress very far because the queues were getting longer and longer as the night progressed, it seemed. I did manage to go to rank 2 without any issues though. Y’know… aside from cross-realm-initiated-DC issues that is.

Speaking of soloing old-school raids, i’ve gone and done a couple of the Cataclysm bosses. Magmaw, Omnotron, and Halfus have all succumbed to my solo bitch-slappings. Maloriak is pretty much impossible to solo at this point. I can’t get past the Atramedes trash alone to try him (DAMN YOU EXECUTION SENTENCE!). Chimaeron is do-able, but you need to be EXTREMELY lucky and well… i’m just kinda succumbing to RNG every time.

If you go check out my Youtube channel, you’ll also notice that i’ve got a few kill videos posted up there as well. I didn’t manage to get Spirit Kings on our first drop (because honestly, it surprised me that we got them that quick heh). I do have a video from last night (on 12/12/12 hah), but I have yet to process and upload it.

In other news of things i’ve been doing, you probably don’t care anyway. heh. I mainly wanted to post this because it HAS been so long since I’ve made a blog post, and I didn’t want people to think I had completely disappeared. I got a little frustrated with a lot of things, both in-game and IRL, so the blog sort of took a backseat for a bit. I think things are starting to get better, so I plan on posting more regularly again. I hope the long absence didn’t drive TOO many of you away ;D
